Chatterbox:
No tats. But when my sister & I were in our late teens, we begged and pleaded
with Mom to allow us to get our ears pierced. She denied our request for most of the summer. When she was a teen the only women with pierced ears were “ladies of the evening” (she used another term). Finally after 2 months, she relented. But made us promise to never wear “dangling” earrings, for fear we would tear our earlobes. I immediately bought a pair of tiny gold hoops. She went ballistic … but I wear them whenever I go to visit. No torn earlobes yet and it’s been 35 years.
Question: When did you get your ears pierced?
